3D Printing  

Did you know that 3D printing had already begun in the late 1980s? Back when people were still smoking on airplanes and the wreck of the Titanic had been found…it was a busy time. This means that we’re beginning to see the result of nearly 40 years of 3D printing research and progression, but what have we achieved so far?

Well, 3D printers aren’t just being used to formulate plastic and random anymore. Scientists are looking into how 3D printers can be used in the medical world to produce replacement organs, limbs or just about anything that could improve a patient’s quality of life.

Take 4-month-old Bentley Yoder for example, who needed to have part of his brain pushed back into his cranium because his skull hadn’t fully formed - it had begun to grow outside of the bone creating a huge growth on top of his head. This rare condition is called encephalocele, and affects around 1 in 10,000 babies each year - the cause is still unknown.

According to Motherboard, Bentley didn’t have much of a chance at this stage but surgeon Dr. John Meara thought he would try using 3D technology as a solution. The 3D printers use MRI or CT scans to reconstruct a patient’s face, limb or other body part. In this instance, Dr Meara created a model of Bentley’s head to work out how he was going to tackle the problem. The 3D model also helps patients and parents see what the surgical procedure is going to look like, and gives them a clearer picture of what is actually possible.

After performing the intended procedure several times on 3D models of Bentley’s skull, Dr Meara was able to successfully carry out the procedure on baby Bentley and save around 90% of the brain tissue from the projection of his brain. Without 3D technology, Bentley was a ticking time bomb and his brain would have eventually ruptured which would have been fatal.

As well as health miracles like the Bentley success story, 3D technology is being researched as an option for restorative purposes for historical buildings too. All over the world there are famous landmarks that are growing older and need constant repairs which are both costly and require extremely skilled labourers and engineers that understand archaic architecture design, many of whom don’t exist anymore. However, with the help of 3D technology, we may be able to hold onto some original features for longer and create identical replacements.

With this in mind, printer ink supplier TonerGiant have put together an informative infographic which allows you to see how long it would take for an individual 3D printer to rebuild some of the world’s most famous landmarks - we’ve got some way to go yet!

Infographics  

This infographic demonstrates how every digital transaction we make—sending emails, Tweeting, texting and even searching the web all produce carbon dioxide, which adds to global warming.

When we think of things that are affecting our environment, we tend to think of car fumes or factories etc. But did you know that sending a Tweet or an email is also causing damage to the planet?

In this infographic Fuel Fighter show just how much damage is being done by the digital world by breaking down the amount of CO2 that is produced every time we tweet, email, watch TV, download music and even when we purchase something online. For example, the amount of C02 released by people watching football’s European Championships is the equivalent of 13 trucks of gasoline and searches for the term “Star Wars” equate to the same amount of C02 as burning 50 barrels of oil.

On a more positive note, it is clear that many of the big tech companies behind this are doing their best to make sure they are carbon neutral. Google has been carbon neutral since 2007 and its data centres use 50% less energy than typical data centres. Not to be outdone, Facebook continues to focus on sustainable operations and invests in the Open Compute Project, which has brought together more than 150 organisation to develop more efficient data centre technologies. This infographic also shows how much better for the environment shopping online is than shopping in-store and how much better it is to stream media over buying physical copies.

The infographic will also show you what huge companies like Google and Amazon are doing to counteract the amount of CO2 that they produce.

So take a look, it might make you think twice about retweeting that funny cat video!

To celebrate World Environment Day on June 5th Eurooffice decided to put together an infographic to celebrate some of the most environmentally friendly office buildings in use today. These buildings are some of the smartest, most innovative and in many cases the most beautiful office buildings built in recent years. While they all look very different, all have taken interesting approaches to reducing their own carbon footprint drastically.

For instance,  Amsterdam’s ‘The Edge’ building, which is currently occupied by Deloitte. This building has been called the smartest building in the world as it not only manages the office environment, it also manages desk allocation for all the employees on a day to day basis.

In the infographic below, buildings around the world showcase features such self-sufficient water systems, their own internal power plants, rainwater harvesting and a host of other cutting-edge environmentally friendly innovations.

What is most striking when seeing these buildings is how they have combine cutting edge design principles, and aesthetics, with almost futuristic levels of technology to create office buildings that are helping make the world a greener place.

Human papillomavirus, or HPV is a group of more than 150 related viruses. Each HPV virus in this large group is given a number which is called its HPV type. HPV is named for the warts (papillomas) some HPV types can cause. Some other HPV types can lead to cancer, especially cervical cancer.

One of the most common infections when it comes to Sexually transmitted diseases is HPV or Human Papilloma Virus. It has been proven that a huge percentage of young adults have contracted a strain of HPV through sexual contact. HPV is transmitted through skin contact. It shows up in forms of rings that create a cauliflower shape like formation on the pubic area. Some will experience bumps on the same area. One of the most worrying factors about HPV is that it provides a ripe ground for cervical cancer. Most of the patients that have ended up with cervical cancer have more often than not contracted HPV at some point in their lives. This doesn’t mean however that all HPV infections will lead to cancer.

The virus provides a higher risk in this situation. There are more than one hundred types of HPV with more than a dozen strains in the mix. It is proven that more than two-thirds of all cervical cancer cases were initiated by HPV 16 and 18 strains. HPV affects cervical cells causing them to mutate and multiply. It is, however, impossible to test for HPV through a pap smear. This will only detect the presence of cancer. Screening for abnormal cells will, however, give a clear indication of the presence of HPV.

HPV does not entirely in itself cause cancer. HIV will easily do the same thanks to the lowered CD4+ count. A lower immunity will expose the body to diseases that would easily be averted. The human immune system is the first frontier when it comes to dealing with cancer. It is good to note that most cancers are dealt with by the body’s immune system. Cancers are mostly opportunistic diseases. They will develop fast and easy as long as there is a helping agent.

Smoking also increases the risk of cervical cancer through HPV. One of the most disturbing findings is that tobacco by-products can be found along the cervical mucus lining of smokers. This causes damage to the cells lining the cervix exposing it to cancerous growths. The tobacco by products are designed for maximum absorption in the blood. They travel through the bloodstream to settle on these areas increasing the risk of cervical cancer.

You can now safeguard your children from cervical cancer and HPV thanks to the HPV vaccine. Gardasil, also known as Silgard was developed for teens for the purpose of preventing HPV through sexual contact. The vaccine also prevents cervical cancer through keeping all forms of HPV at bay. It also decreases the chances of penile and oral cancer in sexually active teens.

PCR kits are used to detect high-risk HPV strains that would lead to cervical cancer. There are a number of kits all specialized in detecting different types of high-risk HPV. Protecting yourself from HPV not only safeguards you from STDs but keeps cancer away. It is important that you have all the necessary tests. It is even more important that you protect yourself by avoiding multiple sexual partners and using protection when engaging in intercourse. This may not help much with HPV but is still better than nothing. It will help keeping clean knowing the high risks involved.

The brightest minds in the automotive world are going head to head to decide how you will power your car in the future. Will the car you drive run on hydrogen or will it be powered by a battery?

The aim of both hydrogen and electric powered vehicles is to provide the world with cars that run as well as traditionally fuelled models, while reducing the carbon footprint of the automotive industry as a whole.

Both hydrogen and battery electric vehicles currently produce zero emissions, but that does not necessarily tell the whole story as the energy they run on has to be produced somehow.
Proponents of hydrogen point to how ubiquitous the element is and how much more power a hydrogen fuel stack can produce when compared to a battery.

They will also point out how limited battery technology currently is and how this is a limiting factor in the performance of battery electric vehicles. Fans of electric cars will retort by saying how much more mature, and green, the infrastructure for electric cars is when compared to hydrogen powered vehicles. If you are still trying to decide which fuel will be dominating the future of driving, then why not read this infographic to find out the facts about both?

Self Driving Cars  

Every day the self-driving car gets closer to becoming a reality of our roads. What must have appeared as science fiction 60 years ago is very much becoming science fact today.

While we've all heard of the Google Car and various semi-autonomous features being integrated in designs of cars such as the Model S Tesla, the history of the self-driving car actually goes back a lot further than that. It's actually been a long and slow journey from the radio controlled vehicles of the early twentieth century to the dawn of the self-driving car today.

This has journey has seen a process of constant refinement and improvement and this infographic celebrates every step of that journey. What becomes clear as you trace the journey of the autonomous vehicle is that it won't just be consumer vehicles that are self-driving. In fact, the impact will be more immediately felt in other sectors.

Did you know there are already self-driving trucks working in the mining areas of Australia and the US Army has been using self-driving cars as equipment transport for some time.

For the rest of us, we won't have long to wait for self-driving cars to have real impacts on our lives.
